9462. Misbranding of Dr. Goodwin's Herbal Compound. TJ. S. * * * v. Frank A. Goodwin (Dr. F. A. Goodwin). Plea of guilty. Fine, $100 and costs. (F. &"D. No. 13909. I. S. No. 8137-r.) On February 7, 1921, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district an information against Frank A. Goodwin, trading as Dr. F. A. Goodwin, Chicago, Ill., alleging ship- ment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, on or about February 27, 1920, from the State of Illinois into the State of Missouri, of a quantity of Dr. Goodwin's Herbal Compound which was mis- branded. Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart- ment showed that it consisted of a light-brown mixture of powdered plant material, containing chiefly senna, fennel, uva ursi, and unidentified plant extractives. Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the information for the reason that certain statements, designs, and devices regarding the thera- peutic and curative effects thereof, appearing on the packages containing the article, falsely and fraudulently represented it to be effective as a treatment, remedy, and cure for ailments, disorders, and diseases of the stomach, liver, kidneys, nerves, bowels, bladder, and the blood, and as a treatment, remedy, and cure for rheumatism, chills and fever, all kinds of chills, all kinds of fevers, catarrh, and for all mucous discharges and inflamed mucous membranes of surfaces in the human body, when, in truth and in fact, it was not. On April 2, 1921, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs. C.W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
